Abstract
The invention relates to the field of cancer diagnosis and the application of diagnostic techniques in pathology and haematology. Specifically, the invention relates to techniques for the detection of chromosomal aberrations and the detection of tumor specific gene products exclusively expressed by tumor cells containing said chromosomal aberrations. The invention provides a method to detect chromosomal aberrations in a biological sample via the exclusive detection of tumor-specific gene-product using at least two different probes directed against the gene-product.
